Wash Your Hands

By Elizabeth on Thursday, June 29th, 2017 in Elizabeth Chennamchetty, Real Life Snippets No Comments

I dropped Malik and Isabella off at school on Tuesday and headed for Black Market. It’s a local coffee shop that’s become a mid-week indulgence. I order a latte and breakfast sandwich every time and I like it so much I’ve never moved on to any other menu options. Blu likes the gooey, warm cinnamon rolls the best. As soon as we swing the door open, the aroma invites us […] Read More


Thank you for your support

It’s amazing how life takes control once in a while and time just slips right by. It’s been a while since my last post!  With three little ones running around the house it’s been far too easy for me to get lost in time. My littlest Chennamchetty turned three this past last weekend! Three! We are officially a diaper free home and I registered her for preschool on Wednesday. I have to say, it’s […] Read More


Pretend Husband & Wife – Take One

By Elizabeth on Thursday, May 11th, 2017 in Elizabeth Chennamchetty, Real Life Snippets No Comments

I’m covered in dirt, weeding in the backyard. The kids are playing in the yard. Isabella’s on skates, Blu is on a skateboard and Malik is riding his razor.   “Let’s play mom and dad” Isabella suggests. “Okay!”  Malik and Blu agree. “I’m the mom.” “I’m the dad. Call me Vijay.” “I’m the bebe.” Blu chimes in. “Okay! I’m Liz!” Isabella giggles, tickled with her idea and sudden name change. […] Read More


It’s Not A Dog

Okay … here’s a riddle.   What has four legs Will chase a ball (really) Is totally down to chill And has five fingers   While you’re figuring that out, here’s our story… We purchased our first family pet. I’m not counting the three lethargic geriatric cats we had when the kids came along as pets. They were too old to understand kids and the kids were too young to […] Read More


Most Likely to (Succeed) Go to Jail

By Elizabeth on Thursday, March 23rd, 2017 in Elizabeth Chennamchetty, Real Life Snippets 6 Comments

Most Likely to Succeed Go to Jail I know which of my children will be named most likely to go to jail in their high school year book. It happened right in front of me. I didn’t even notice – not until some 20 hours after the crime was committed. Yesterday I took Isabella to the optometrist’s office. I took her immediately because she began complaining that the board was […] Read More


Pirate Queen

By Elizabeth on Thursday, March 9th, 2017 in Elizabeth Chennamchetty, Real Life Snippets No Comments

I slipped into a habit of turning on the TV before school to give the kids something to do while we were all getting ready. As a result, I inadvertently created little TV zombies. So now, we don’t watch any television before or after school Monday through Friday. “TV and tablets are for the weekends only,” Malik and Isabella regurgitate disappointedly every morning they wake up on a school day. It’s […] Read More

Isopterophobia vs. Insect-Mania

By Elizabeth on Thursday, February 9th, 2017 in Elizabeth Chennamchetty, Real Life Snippets No Comments

Do you have a fear of termites? My girls do. It’s called Isopterophobia (It’s a thing! Google says so.) Or are you obsessed with insects like my son? I call it insect-mania. (That’s more made up.)  When you put those two emotions and my three together, this is what you get … — SoCal houses are framed with wood and covered in stucco. The warm sun keeps everything nice and […] Read More
